Cheers SimRice!
Haha BB there was plenty of shovwl work i promise. My block had about 14 palm trees and 6 15m+ weeping Fig trees (ficus) in the back yard alone that required a whole lot of root digging! But where I could I used the tractors. Gave the neighbours a fair bit of conversation material though. It's been a while since Fulham Gardens has seen agricultural machinery. For sure about the water! We finished laying it at about 3pm today and it got an hour and a half then and it'll get some more in about 10 minutes. That's another reason I picked SA Turf. Their turf is grown in a soil that has a slightly higher clay content than most (I picked it up from the turf farm this morning so I got to see him finish harvesting it and also have a good look at the soil). My soil is almost pure sand (slightly above 80% and a ph of 7.3) so the soil that's around the roots being a little higher in clay will allow it to retain a little more water. Also the turf and clay was almost 5cm thick. Much thicker than what I've seen than what I've seen at a couple of other places.
